“Sex and the City” was famous for mismatching bridesmaid dresses. In Charlotte’s first wedding, all of the girls wore the same gorgeous, cream-colored fabric in three different cuts. In her second, the dresses didn’t match at all. Then, when Miranda married Steve, I think she didn’t even have official bridesmaids, and in Carrie’s flubbed wedding attempt to Mr. Big, the bridesmaids wore the same style of dress in three boldly different colors.

I love “Sex and the City,” but does anyone ever really pull this look off? Under what conditions can you make it work? And does it detract from the cohesive look of your ceremony to have bridesmaid’s dresses that don’t match? What do you think about mismatching bridesmaids? Rant or rave!

I know I’ve written about orange before but it is the color of the season. And this wedding season, it’s making an appearance in everything from the flowers to the bridesmaids dresses. Orange is even making a splash in the fashion industry coloring up one of my favorite stores, Anthropologie this season. Take a look at some of their line which would be absolutely divine for an orange wedding!
